DON’T CONFRONT, CAREFRONT! Don’t Confront, CAREfront Carefront. Never heard of it? Neither had I, until I listened to Larry Kreider’s leadership podcast where he and his wife, LaVerne, talked about passing the leadership test of conflict. (You can listen to the episode yourself here.) Carefront is a term LaVerne used, and I believe coined, […]
Justice…Mine or God’s Justice. As someone born and raised in the United States, that is a loaded term. Phrases like liberty and justice for all come to mind. So do historical movements, courtrooms, and balance scales. Justice is something so deeply ingrained in our culture, and as people, it’s woven into our sense of how […]
Don’t Look for the Boomerang In the last few posts, I shared and spent time processing an extraordinary supernatural experience that was directly related to the destructive power of offense. I cannot emphasize this enough: offense HAS to go. We simply cannot afford to posture ourselves in offense and create filters of offense, filters that […]
In the last post, I shared an experience that was…memorable. Since that time, I’ve circled around the thoughts Why? and How can this be used for growth and edification? One of the aspects of that midnight memory that really stuck out to me was that despite posturing myself before the Lord when that thought […]
DON’T FEED THE DRAGON It was midnight. Or close to it. I was in the middle of an intense prophetic dream where God was giving me glimpses into deep spiritual realms and His plan for the church for 2024. I was not prepared for what happened next. Just as God was showing me golden wheels, […]
Burden Bearing Baring In the last post, I shared how I learned to see prophetic burden bearing as a gift and not as…well…a burden. Today I’m going to bare my heart a little bit and share a more recent story of my journey as a burden bearer. It is my prayer that my story encourages […]
Prophetic Burden Bearing: It’s a Gift, Right? In the last post I shared about bearing one another’s burdens, what it is—and what it isn’t. I briefly mentioned a different kind of burden bearing, and today I wanted to take a deeper dive into it. Prophetic burden bearing. This is VERY different from letting Christ bear […]
Bearing Burdens Burden bearing. As someone who operates in the prophetic, this phrase brings a flood of memories of sudden shifts in emotions or thought patterns, ones that definitely weren’t mine—or God’s. As a mother of prophetic kids, it brings up even more recent memories of learning how to walk my daughters through those moments […]
Pause. Breathe Healing Grace “I can’t, Lord. It’s just too painful.” That was an actual prayer. Nope, not joking. Something had happened, well, actually, something was done toward me, that was hurtful. Oh, I had forgiven the person. There was no animosity or anger in my heart. Zip, zilch, zero, however you want to say […]
CAST BURDENS WE DON’T KNOW WE’RE CARRYING God: Remember, I said to cast your burdens upon Me. Me: But God, this isn’t a burden. I’m hurting! God: Remember, I said to cast your burdens upon Me. Me: Ummm…. This is pretty close to a conversation I had had with God. I had been hurt, pretty […]
